A/N: Do not ask how this story came to be. My mind took the one scene where Fuji's handing his English dictionary to Tezuka and twisted it horribly out of proportion to bring you this. Any criticism and suggestions will be accepted.
Chapter One - Eating Books
Momoshiro knew that there had to be something going on between Tezuka-buchou and Fuji-senpai. What else could explain the scene in front of him as he was trying to cut class? (Class was boring, okay?) It was the third time this week he had seen Fuji and Tezuka exchanging books.
Momo tried to sneak closer so he could overhear their conversation. It wasn't eavesdropping, he just happened to be passing by and his curiosity got piqued. Not his fault. He stopped where he was; if he got any closer, he would undoubtedly be discovered. And that would not be a good thing, seeing who he was eavesdropping on. He'd just have to make the best of what he could make out.
Tezuka took the book from Fuji's outstretched hand and said something, probably a thanks, Momo thought. Fuji just smiled and made a comment. Momo strained his ears, trying to hear what they were saying. Tezuka said something else, to which Fuji replied, "You heard me."
It made no sense to Momo at all. Then, Tezuka opened the book and flipped a few pages before showing Fuji something. Momo narrowed his eyes, trying to see what was being shown. It looked like someone had doodled in the textbook. Fuji chuckled and cracked open his eyes a bit. "You know-," he started, the rest of the sentence being drowned out by the bell.
Tezuka closed the book and walked away. Fuji continued to chuckle. "He never answered my question." He then walked away as well.
Momo sighed. Well, it looked like he was safe from their wrath for now. But there was something strange about the conversation. His eyes darted down the hallway to where Tezuka was entering his classroom with the textbook. Why would Buchou need to keep borrowing books from Fuji-senpai? It wasn't like he didn't have his own. Then, the answer hit him.
There was only one explanation for why Tezuka kept borrowing books from Fuji. Tezuka ate his own books. Momo glanced down the hallway once more. Yes, that was it. It explained everything. He couldn't wait to tell Echizen what he had discovered. But first things first, go grab some food and sneak back into class.
A/N: Yes, Tezuka Book-Eater. I told you my mind was insane. And the story even continues…
There also happens to be an alternate version of this scene called Eaten Books. Separate because it includes slashy FujiTezu undertones. And it has absolutely no bearing on this story, just there if you're interested.
